Doktor Diabolical:

"...Blast it. Let's try this again."

Okay. Doktor Diabolical tries to improve the bots' intelligence once more, building upon whatever has already been done. I mean, clearly they have some combat protocols, why not improve those?

Afterwards, 3 Robots essences.

I think that you should try to handle the "trying to kill me" issue with the bots before trying to improve their intelligence again. Then again, you ARE a mad scientist...

Glance up from my summoning and glance around. Try to figure out what important things I missed.

Still summon 4 healing items, of various random types.

Xom, faced with the prospect of imminent death and having seemingly been forsaken by The Chaos, turns to the somewhat more...unorthodox...versions of divinity for...er...'guidance' in what might be his final minute in this accursed plane.

Seek divine aid from The Highest Holiness of Home Insurance. If there's no limit to how much we can pray in a turn, throw in a couple of extra prayers to the gods of Cabbages and Frogs for good measure (as well as for increased hilarity if when things go horribly wrong).

Order the blood fiend to go after Kahel instead of Xom, using every ounce of law magic at my disposal. Meanwhile, get the pyramid to land in front of me, standing between Xom and the genie, and instruct it to fire at Kahel if the spell works. If the spell fails, whichever enemy comes nearest shall be the pyramid's target. Be ready to smash things with the inactive nuke if need be.

If I'm not dead by this time, grab on to the pyramid and get it to start levitating in the direction of the Tower.

Into the tower greenhouse looking for herbs with calming effects. And make four essences while I am it.

((you forgot to include the map in the last turn. By any chance could you add that in/insert it with the actions you missed.))

Head in. Light every torch on the way.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Duritarum lit up the torches as he went and examined what they revealed. The tunnel was dusty, but not quite as dusty as one would expect a bottom of a pit to be. He bent down and examined the dust. It was entirely unremarkable. But just beneath the dust was a cloth cloak, entirely untouched by the time it spent here. It most likely had something to do with the lack of dust. Duritarum grabbed the cloak and continued onward. At the end of the tunnel was a chamber without any torches inside. Within it, was a pedestal with an iron box on it. The box had no lock and inside, Duritarum found what looked like thick sheets of lead. There were five of them, and on closer inspection Duritarum noticed writing on the sheets. The symbols seemed to glow faintly in the darkness and had some resemblance to spell scrolls but it hurt to look at them too closely. There was a sound from somewhere behind Duritarum and he turned around. Torches he had lit up were surrounded by shadows that moved very much not how anyone would suspect they should.



Temperature around the fire tree begins to rise rapidly, at about 20C per minute. The heat seems to be concentrated around the tree but it is only a matter of time until it spreads.



Spoiler (click to show/hide)

As Kahel was retreating from the mess that Xom somehow attracted, something flew through him. It was an arrow. Looking back, he saw Viznor floating above and cursing. He soon stopped and purple fog began falling over the battlefield from Viznor's claws. Worse still, Ilium approached seemingly unafraid of the poison. When he came within about ten meters, Ilium stopped, pulled out a dagger and slit his wrist. Blood that came out coalesced into almost solid object, gripped the dagger and extended towards Kahel with clear intent to do some cuts. It was not that fast, but it could move in unexpected ways, as a deep cut o Kahel's left arm could attest to.

The point of keeping the golems on fire isn't for the value of fire as a weapon. It's more to keep the golems functioning at a reasonable speed.
It was never a promise. It was a dirty lie, and you all knew that. You should all know by now that you can't trust a word I say.

The two important things I have found out are such:
1)Know when to stop and continue tomorrow
2) and never put things off for more than one day.

Is it just me or is it getting hot in here? Oh wait. It is getting hotter here. I see that the fire portal tree thing is either growing larger or more powerful. I better see what I can do about that. Let operation, don't let the elemental plane of fire consume EVERTHING begin. It seems I'll need to start the ritual early or risk destroying the portal.

Begin The Following Ritual:
Summon a Flying Fortress built primarily out of blades.

Sacrificial Item #1: The  Portal to The Elemental Plane Of Fire (fire-tree)
The purpose of this item is to serve as an infinite power source/the core of the flying fortress.

Blade essence +1CMP
Blade essence +1POT
